Once one knows the "official" version of events, what can your beloved pro-LN books teach that we don’t already know? Let's take every LNer's Bible, Bugliosi's Defaming History as an example of what we can "learn"....

We learn that "Anyone who could believe [Oswald] was not guilty would probably also believe someone claiming to have heard a cow speaking the Spanish language."

We learn "Waiting for the conspiracy theorists to tell the truth is a little like leaving the front-porch light on for Jimmy Hoffa. "

We learn that anyone who doesn’t read the morning newspaper, pack a lunch, or who changes their trousers in the middle of the day had better hire a good lawyer.

We learn Kennedy’s throat wound was "ragged"...which IS great information for historians, since no one actually saw the throat wound.

We learn all the "Lincoln-Kennedy" coincidences, as if that means anything.

And we learn, in Gish Gallop form, of all the people and groups involved in the plot to kill Kennedy ( - RC “Bookends”), which is nothing more than a glorified Appeal to Ridicule.


A researcher can learn more from this one single post you won’t read....

...than they will from Bugliosi’s 2,500-page cinder block. The only thing his book is good for is if you buy four of them, you can use them to jack your car up to change a tire.
